I want to stay far away from these Master-disciple relationships that usually end up in disaster even if the Master happens to be a true Prophet or Saint.

These Master-disciple and/or Archetypal Being-sage relationships look great on paper and are exaggerated by the authors of books but when it comes to brass tacks - the actual relationship in all its nitty gritty - it's more about limitation, delusion, subservience, suffering and life-threatening moments than constituting a stream of great inner experiences gradually leading to self-realization and perfection.

The Master or the Archetypal Being are limited in consciousness-energy which they seek to impose on those who genuflect before them. They connect with you in consciousness and energy - a tie that's so solid that in most ways it cannot be severed. I know from personal experience....

I am still recovering from the serious damage to mind and body from entering too deep into such a relationship that opened me up to the subtler ranges of cosmic consciousness and energy to quite an extent but the sufferings/dangers to life were real, constant and unbearable and during these emergencies the Master and/or the Being remains aloof on most occasions.

The yoga experiences are continuing in me in a spontaneous way though I have cut all ties with my Master.

How do you keep yourself from imbibing the vibes of all the people who use the machines before you?

Hardly anyone uses the gym. Most are too lazy to work up a sweat and prefer a brisk walk or a slow jog on the adjacent jogging track surrounding the garden in my residential block.

I wipe clean all the equipment and erase any residual forces of other users by directing at the equipment a strong yogic force that usually works in minutes and I can see and feel the process involving the dissolving of the forces of others left behind on the machine.

The lucky part is that among the few regulars who make use of the gym in our apartment block none radiates a perverse force field and most are very pleasant to talk/interact with and in this way I am safe to a large extent.

rabbee: that won't change the fact, that i have always been TheG-D Child, here on earth as it is in HEAVEN. and as always TheChild of G-D, my responsibilities and burdens are forever much heavier than any of yours. and it is far more difficult for any grandchild of G-D, to enter into TheKingdom as an adult. which they have never truly been, seen as grown ups. where all have given up their wisdom for errant knowledge.

rabbee: there is no point, in being an adult. when it is merely an excuse, to commit adultry against G-D. as all sins are, adultry against G-D. for even one sin, violates all the commands of G-D.

<quoted text>Here is the official US response to your questionhttp://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/mideast/RL33222.pd...In November 2011, Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Andrew J. Shapiro publicly reaffirmed the Obama Administrations commitment to preserving Israels aid and QME.In his remarks, he stated:But today, in these budget constrained timessome are now asking the question why should we keep providing aid to Israel? Yes, Israel is a long time democratic ally and we share aspecial bondbut some skeptics are questioning whether thats enough of a reason to continue to spend hard earned American tax payer dollars on Israels security.I can answer that skepticism directlywe dont just support Israel because of a long standing bond, we support Israel because it is in our national interests to do so.This aspect of our relationship with Israel is often overlooked.Americas commitment to Israels security and prosperityhas extended over many decades because our leaders on both sides of the aisle have long understood that a robust United States-Israel security relationship is in our interests. Oursupport for Israels security helps preserve peace and stability in the region. If Israel were weaker, its enemies would be bolder. This would make broader conflict more likely, which would be catastrophic to American interests in the region.It is the very strength of Israels military which deters potential aggressors and helps foster peace and stability.Ensuring Israels military strength and its superiority in the region is therefore critical to regional stability and as a result is fundamentally a core interest of the United States.

Beans,

To clarify. I have no gripe. You know better than to take questions personally. You gain nothing by doing so. I'll assume that the answers were first reactions to loaded questions. I see that based on your finding the official reason your first answers were reactionary and nothing more.

I ask the questions that many taxpayers ask themselves. Why are we spending money abroad when we have deep problems at home? You just reiterated this with the official US response. It's not just Israel, it's everywhere. You name it and we are spending cash. There always has to be a reason for giving money to other countries, whether it is a lot or a little.

You mentioned Iraq as the primary recipient of US aide and also stated that Israel is no longer top dog. In reality, it could be that we are simply spending more elsewhere, but the aide to israel has remained flat. I don't know the numbers, but I'm sure someone can google 'em. Maybe I'll google them later on just for good measure.

In your posting of Shapiro's response, you also answered the question believe it or not. I was looking for the last part of Shapiro's answer. "...Ensuring Israels ... fundamentally a core interest of the United States ...". The rest of his answer was blah blah friends, allies, blah stability, blah democracy ... When in reality, it appears to come back to that one precious thing that we can't live without. Oil. Oil is the primary interest in the area for the US and Israel happens to be a place where we can defend those interest from. I don't think we care abut the people per say. It's that black gold.

Thanks for answering the question. This really is what I have been looking for.

Muq,

I won't waste a lot of words with you other than to say that you really need to use links. If anyone wants to read about the prophet and his sword, they will click the link. Re-evalute your words. I have no desire to get into name calling or insults with you. Honestly, I'm not sure you can handle it if I play the game, but I won't.
